36 Reasons Why Texas Sucks!

Check this out. https://www.pwctoday.com/forum/off-topic/off-topic-aa/politics-only/137040-36-reasons-why-texas-sucks 

All great reasons.  Used to live there and dad brought us to California to get away from the redneck idiots.  

What about the other 245 reasons?

Really, I've driven through there many times (not voluntarily; it was in the way when I was trying to get to some less repulsive destination) and seen SO many things that made me ask, WTF? Just as an example...Taxas highways that aren't also federal interstates have REALLY short on- and off-ramps, primitive drainage systems (almost no shoulders), poor lighting at points where it's needed, and minimal signage. It all looks like a great place to get killed. It's obvious that they spend the absolute minimum on design, upkeep, and safety. The idiot goober "Texas Rangers" are assigned to harass tourists but do NOTHING about local drunk drivers. For that matter, they don't enforce whatever speed limits happen to exist--I'm not sure that they actually do.

The vicious, palpable race hatred--"kill all brown people"-- permeates the air and is impossible to avoid or ignore. Texas people are very friendly--UNLESS they think you're a LIBURRUL or gay/transgender/of foreign birth or don't have an orgasm when you see a cowboy hat.

And speaking of that--EVERY idiot is wearing a cowboy hat, despite the fact that such a hat is utterly useless unless you are actually following a bunch of cows around all day. Ditto pickup trucks--the most useless vehicles on earth, with huge bulk and mass but the ability to carry only two people, three is they're really friendly. But you apparently MUST own and drive ONLY a pickup truck if you live in Texas, and if you drive through there (thar) in one o' them funny little FURRIN cars, you'll likely have your windows shot out. And people in Priuses are simply killed.

Texas BBQ is supposedly very good. The two times I've had it, I had bouts of violent vomiting. I'm sure I was just unlucky. Likewise, Tex-Mex is a valid cuisine that can be very good.

If I was forced to spend any time in Texas, but I could pick the city, it would be Austin. A town so cool, it might not really be in Texas.

   HaHaHaHaHa. 

It's a great state, and the more Liberals who move away the stronger and better the state will become.

What's hilarious is that you and they really think that a racist, fascist prison state is Nirvana.

Pretty sure they have.  Austin is the last liberal (not capitalized) bastion in the state. 

And the wonderful thing about living in a free country (free for now, anyway) is that we can all live where we choose. If you like to be among decent, principled people who have social consciences, you can live in a liberal state. If you like to be among drunken, bigoted goobers who have an erotic relationship with their guns, you can live in Tay-ucks-ass or some other conservitard pesthole.

I can't quite understand, though, why our resident conservitards continually make whiny posts about how terrible life is in California/Oregon/etc. Is anyone forcing them to move there?

I'll be McCall, Idaho in late August.  It's booming with people fleeing California and Oregon.

And you know that they've "fled" those two states...how?

Note that I'm going to hold you to "fled." Just plain "moved there because I wanted to" won't cut it.

Happy 4th, idiot.

My college roommate and his wife left for Idaho after they retired 4 years ago.  Sold their house in Brentwood (Bay Area) for a good penny and then bought land and built a house in Cascade, which is between Boise and McCall, I believe.  They love the outdoors and have family in Boise.  Their son is a pitcher for the Oakland A's.  He's injured right now, but was an All Star in 2022.  (Thought you might find that interesting since you are a baseball guy). Have a great time on your trip.
